How to do Padmasana | Full Lotus Pose

Full Lotus is one of the most widely-known and popular yoga poses, yet if not practiced properly, it can lead to lots of discomfort in the knee.

In this tutorial, we’re breaking down the classic sitting posture, PADMASANA \ FULL LOTUS POSE. You’ll learn common mistakes and why it’s especially important in this pose to practice correct knee alignment. You’ll see how to keep the knee joint safe while using the hips to find the full expression of the pose - even a small incorrect movement can lead to recurring issues. You’ll learn where the correct foot placement is and how to avoid possible pain or pressure in the quadriceps too. We’ll also share some modifications or variations you can practice while building up the flexibility to do the full version of this pose.
